Actually, this is something I've noticed once and again. Does it seem to anybody else that - let's say 95% - of stories (manga, anime, games, etc.) and characters are "picked and mixed" from a very small reservoir of traits and hallmarks? Every new anime I see has sort of a feeling to it - it goes somewhat like this: "Hm, wait, that seems awfully familiar... where can I possibly have h-... oh, yeah, in a few dozen other anime/games."
It's like someone trying to paint a picture given 3 colors, without ever thinking of combining them to make something new.
Is that just my imagination?
